Work on It Progressing Rapidly--Drillers Struck a Spring. Philip DITZEL, who has the contract for the mason work on Sheriff WILLIAMS's new building on West Main street, is pushing the construction along rapidly. The east half of the building, which is to be occupied by WILLIAMS & GRUNNER as an automobile garage as soon as possible , is already up a story. The row of big elms standing in front of the building will not be cut down. Water of a temperature of only 45 degrees above zero was struck after four hours' drilling for a well in the cellar. Water, apparently from a spring, was found at a depth of 25 feet below the surface of the street and it rises in the pipe five feet above the surface of the creek. A stratum of rock separates the supposed spring from the creek. *** SPECIAL ATTRACTION. At Dreamland will be a set of slides taken of the soldiers who came through here this week; in and about camp.

The Erie railroad is replacing the wooden bridge over Tonawanda creek at the MOULTON farm, four miles south of Batavia, with an iron structure.

A temporary siding has been constructed for use during the progress of the work. *** GYPSY GIRL PUT UP A FIGHT. Police Captain Finally Arrested Her for telling Fortunes. Marguerita Louisa, a gypsy of Italian extraction, resisted arrest when Police Captain BLAIR undertook to take her into custody this morning. Marguerita is a comely miss of 15, one of a caravan of wanderers who arrived in town this morning. Their wagons were drawn up in front of the municipal plant while the women went around the streets telling fortunes. Captain BLAIR met Marguerita and ordered her out of town. Ten minutes later he saw her in a Main street store having her palm crossed with silver. He invited her to accompany him to the police station and she resisted, making for him in an effort to scratch his face. Twice she succeeded in getting free from the officer, who eventually caught both of her hands and subdued her. Many people were attracted by the scuffle. Marguerita was arraigned before Police Justice KELLY, charged under section 899 of the criminal code with being a disorderly person in having attempted to tell fortunes. She was locked up in the police station pending examination. *** LAND OFFICE GROUNDS. Beautified by Trees and Shrubs Donated by Nelson BOGUE. Material improvement to the appearances of the Land Office grounds is going to be the result of a gift to the historical society from Nelson HOGUE of trees and shrubs enough to handsomely decorate the place. The plants arrived this morning and Roderick SIMPSON, who is in charge of laying out the Court house park, went with half a dozen men to the land office site. The work had to be done immediately for protection to the shrubbery. During the morning several small poplar trees were set in the bank of the Tonawanda creek back of the building and some shrubs were planted on the lawn. The trees on the bank of the stream will protect the bank as well as conceal the view of the opposite side of the creek for West Main street when they grow up. Mr. BOGUE's gift to the society is appreciated and his public spirit is commended. *** Good Sized Verdict for Lineman MULLEN. Niagara Power People Must Pay Him $3,500.
